Entering the property a large reception hallway, which is bright and airy, with doors into all of the principal rooms.

Across the front of the property, the most striking room is the sitting room with a large Scandi-style window to the front and a beautiful original 1950s fireplace gives a feel of homeliness.

Client Comments:
I first heard about Tall Trees via Instagram as I had heard it was a finalist in the St Albans House of the Year (a television programme that celebrated architectural design). When it came on the market, I couldn't believe our luck. It is a mid-century treasure with the large central windows its most striking feature. Surrounded by stunning trees, you don't need art on the walls here, when you have ever-changing shades of greens and yellows outside. On a winter's night or a stormy one, it is a wonderful experience to have the 1950s fire blazing whilst watching the storm from the Scandi warmth of the main living room. As you fall asleep at night, it is only ever to the sound of a single owl outside. On a summer's day, it is the ultimate party house that can host many people in the large garden or you can simply lie under the cherry blossom tree in a hammock and soak up the silence.
A versatile house that can be enjoyed alone or when in the company of many visitors. A family home and an architectural gem right in the heart of the one of the loveliest villages in Britain.
